Lyrics by Joe DarionIn this song, Quixote explains his quest and the reasons behind it ... in doing so, he captures the essence of the play and its philosophical underpinnings. (For me, it is absolutely magical.)

This is my quest, to follow that star ... No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ... To fight for the right, without question or pause ... To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...

And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest, That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm, when I'm laid to my rest ... And the world will be better for this: That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, To reach ... the unreachable star ...

It's a blessing not having to deal with the kind of plotting and scheming that's been mentioned in this forum as of late. I feel sorry for those who've been defrauded out of their hard-earned money.

In stark contrast, it reminds me of this Irish song that sings about people who are simple and kind. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere on YouTube the rendition I knew from way back when, sung by Ruby Murray. Nonetheless, here's an uncredited version that's just as lovely ...

Far across yonder blue lies a true fairylandWith the sea ripplin' over the shingle and sandWhere the gay honeysuckle is lurin' the beeAnd the green glens of Antrim are callin' to me

Sure if only you knew how the light of the moonTurns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoonIf you'd imagine a picture of heaven it would beWhere the green glens of Antrim are callin' to me

Sure I long to return to my own CushendallIt's the one place for me that can outshine them allYou know I know every hill, I recall every treeWhere the green glens of Antrim are heaven to me

And sure I'd be where the people are simple and kindAnd among them the one who's been warm on my mindSure I'd pray that this world would in peace let me beWhere the green glens of Antrim are callin'/heaven to me
